It encompasses the core of the commercial district of Benton, Arkansas, whose major period of development took place between 1902 and 1958. The district's 53 properties reflect the growth and development of the city's businesses. It covers roughly two square blocks, bounded on the west by South Market Street, the north by West Sevier Street, the east by North East Street, and the south by River and East South Streets.
It includes three buildings that were already separately listed on the National Register: the Saline County Courthouse at 200 W. Sevier, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Building at 123 N. Market, and the Royal Theatre at 111 S. Market.
